As a developer who is being paid: I don't think that GPL'ed KDE code could be 
used in conjunction with this license. I'm not sure what me being paid has to 
do with that though :-) kdelibs shouldn't be a problem though.

A legitimit reason for supporting a damned OS would be that it would be 
easier for people to write cross-platform as well as KDE applications.

Cheers,
Waldo
